Dear Reader,
Today's breaking news from Organic Alliance
Inc. (Pink Sheets: ORGC) signals
an evolution for the emerging organic food company. And perhaps a little
reading between the lines must be done with this news. Recently, ORGC's
CEO presented to the prestigious Harvard Club in New York Cty, fielding
questions from leading investors and capital organizations. This roadshow
at such an esteemed venue seems to indicate more than a few positives for
ORGC.
First, there is obviously a growing interest in
organics and healthy food suppliers that is extending to nearly all channels
of the investing public. Clearly Wall Street isn't ignoring the opportunities
that are emerging as America starts eating healthier and dollars continiue
to pour into heatlthier foods. But what I think is most intriguing is that
ORGC is ready to go on a road show like this. The company knew they would
face tough questions from seasoned pros who know how to pick a deal apart.
You don't go to the Harvard Club with a half-baked idea.
And now ORGC is on the radar screen of every investor
in that room. Next week the company will present in Philadelphia. The word
is definitely getting out.

a
Harvard Club Investor Group Takes a Fresh Look at Organics
9:15 AM ET 7/16/08 | PR Newswire
Organic Alliance, Inc., a worldwide organic ingredient trading company,
(Pink Sheets: ORGC) led by Tom Morrison, CEO presented to analysts and
investors at the storied Harvard Club in Manhattan, New York. Tom Morrison
presented the company's vision and plan to become one of the world's leading
providers of USDA organic crops.
Dana Bruno, Managing Director, DTB Capital Management Group asked a
question about organic sales rates versus conventional products. Morrison
cited the most recent study appearing in the weekly trade journal Supermarket
News which stated current year organic product sales are up 8% and enjoying
continued growth despite a tight dollar and a decrease in consumer spending.
Morrison went on to say that organic products now make up over 3% of all
food commodity volume in the US marketplace.
John F. O'Dea, Chairman, EastGate Financial, Inc. asked if there was
a dilution of organic food product, given the growing number of organic
brands and line extensions. Morrison stated there were indeed a growing
number of major new organic brands appearing at all major consumer goods
firms, and that he expected the category to continue to show strong growth.
Morrison said, "I expect to see some excellent marketing programs from
world class firms such as Kraft, Unilever and Sara Lee grow the category
at an even faster pace with less dilution -- I see an overall strengthening
of the organic category."
Mr. Tom Morrison will give an investor presentation at the Four Seasons
in Philadelphia on Monday, July 21.

Agricultural Plots and Hectares
from the Air
A
hectare is a unit of area equal to 10,000 square metres.
An
acre is approximately 40% of a hectare.
Organic farmland is distributed across the globe, but the markets are
strongest in North America and Europe, which as of 2001 are estimated to
have $6 and $8 billion respectively of the $20 billion market. Austral-asia
has 39% of the total organic farmland with Australia's 11.8 million hectares,
but 97 percent of this land is sprawling range land, which results in total
sales of approximately 5% of US sales. Europe has 23 percent of total organic
farmland (6.9 million hectares), followed by Latin America with 19 percent
(5.8 million hectares). Asia has 9.5 percent while North America has 7.2
percent. Africa has a mere 3 percent.
Besides Australia, the countries with the most organic area include
Argentina (3.1 million hectares), China (2.3 million hectares), and the
United States (1.6 million hectares). Much of Argentina's organic farmland
is pasture, like Australia. Italy, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Uruguay, and
the UK follow the United States by the amount of land managed organically.
As of 2001, the estimated total market value of certified organic products
was estimated to be $20 billion. By 2002 this was $23 billion and by 2005
$33 billion, with Organic Monitor projecting sales of $40 billion in 2006.
The change from 2001 to 2005 represents a compound growth of 10.6 percent.
In recent years, both Europe and North America have experienced strong
growth in organic farmland. Each added half a million hectares from 2004
to 2007, for the U.S. this is a 29 percent change.
 
Some examples of large company organic brand commitments
are:
Coke- Odwalla, M&M Mars-Seeds
of Change, Pepsi-Tostito Organic, Tyson-Natures Farm, Con Agra-Hunt’s Organic,
Lightlife, Orville Redenbacher’s Organic, Dole-Dole Organic, Cargill-French
Meadow, Cadbury Schweppes Nantucket Nectars Organic, Green & Blacks,

Organic Alliance
Announces Plan to Open in August an Executive Sales & Marketing
Office in
Bakersfield, California
Company targeting
large food processors as customers for over 50% of its gross revenues through
multi-carload, multi-year contracts with organic crop growers
PRINCETON,
N.J., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink
Sheets: ORGC - News; formerly NBDL) released details on its plans to
become one of the world's leading providers of USDA certified organic crops
to many of the country's leading consumer packaged goods manufacturers,
food processors, grocery, and retail restaurant chains. The company is
also announcing that its sales & marketing headquarters will open in
Bakersfield, CA in August 2008. Bakersfield is centrally located for organic
trading, according to company CEO Tom Morrison.
Consumers
have embraced organic foods as a lifestyle change while the major food
companies and retailers play catch-up to some of the niche organizations
(Whole Foods, etc.) that have focused heavily on organic. There exists
no question as to the strong consumer demand for organic foods with 2007
sales of approximately $19 billion. Organic Alliance, Inc. ("OAI"), led
by organic farming and industry veteran Tom Morrison, intends to fill a
significant and problematic void facing major food companies such as Kraft,
Unilever, and Sara Lee and mainstream grocery outlets including Costco,
Safeway, and China's Lotus: reliable sourcing of organic fruits and vegetables
from growers. These organizations are struggling to source high-quality,
source-certified, organic produce to be sold as end product to consumers
or to be used as ingredients for a more complete organic food alternative. MORE
